The Knowledge of God

I found these word in the book of Puritan prayers (The Valley of Vision) that my son gave me several years ago. As I have spent much time in preparing for school these words about the knowledge of God were just beautiful to me and reminded me of the most important thing that I teach, the thing that I teach with everything that I do, the knowledge of God.

I am guilty, but pardoned,
lost, but saved,
wandering, but found
sinning, but cleansed.
Give me perpetual broken-heartedness,
Keep me always clinking to thy cross,
Flood me every morning with descending grace,
Open to me the springs of divine knowledge,
sparkling like crystal,
flowing clear and unsullied
through the wilderness of life.
